Digital: Are your people and culture ready?

In an age where digital is taking front and centre stage of organisational strategy, are we doing enough now to prepare our culture and workforce to adapt? Having a digital strategy that adds value to your business is vital but if your culture and people aren’t aligned, the results you expect will be much harder to achieve.

At Staffordshire we have integrated digital and people strategies and approaches, to ensure that everyone truly understand what it means for them, how they play their part in delivery and the benefits it can drive for our communities, organisational performance and workforce engagement.

Hear how we have developed the mindsets of our leaders and managers towards a future that embraces what digital and advancements in technology can offer.

Campfire Sessions (40 minute sessions delivered twice)

Delegates will have the chance to pre register for these campfire sessions which see experts from the sector present a recent case study followed by Q&A.

Campfire A: Using the Power of Data and Partnership to Co-design Improvement

The NHS Scotland Local Intelligence Support (LIST) provides essential new evidence to help improve local services. LIST analysts use novel analyses to produce new insights so that local services are designed using the best intelligence. LIST work collaboratively with national and local organisations, including Health & Social Care Partnerships, GP Clusters, Community Planning Partnerships, Third Sector and other public sector organisations. This session will share examples of co-designed work that has helped improve the lives of the people of Scotland, both locally and at a national level.

Campfire B: What Is Robotic Process Automation and Why Should You Love It?

Government and technology has always had a rocky relationship; cost over-runs, time slippages, and so on has made public sector colleagues rightly wary of the next ‘bright shiny new thing’. So why should Robotic Process Automation (RPA) be any different? Join Guy as he talks about what impact RPA is already having, what the future is likely to bring and how it is taking the ‘robot out of the human’, helping colleagues to become happier in their work and able to offer improved citizen services.
